Each character is unable to escape the fallout of what happened and soon these fears begin to creep into Omori’s dream world. I’m going to have the skirt around the real-world horrors to avoid spoilers, but an event happened several years ago that ties the group together.

Unable to control or face certain events in the real world, Omori conjures up this fantastical headspace to escape, like a safety blanket. Doesn’t sound like much of a horror game, right? There aren’t any scary monsters and existential horrors in the colourful dream world, but that’s the entire point. The majority of the game takes place in this dreamworld where the group is searching for their missing friend, but there are also parts that are played in reality, specifically a quiet suburban neighborhood where all the kids live. Omori follows the childhood antics of a group of kids during the Summer break, but instead of discovering the wonders of the real world, the group is exploring a fantastical dream world conjured by a sleeping boy, the titular Omori.
